Quantec Addressable Staff Protection

Staff Protection

For people working in the care industry, the threat of personal attack is all too apparent. The problem is how do you safeguard against the risks ?

To help combat the threat of verbal and physical abuse against members of staff, the Quantec call system  is an infrared and radio staff attack facility which helps protect staff against disturbed patients, intruders and/or aggressive visitors.

How Does it Work ?

All at risk staff carry a special rechargeable transmitter they attach to their clothing. Should an attack takes place, they activate the transmitter by pressing one of its buttons or releasing its retained pull clip to fill the area with infrared and radio signals. The panic alarms signals are picked by a special receiver which instantly informs Quantec that an attack is taking place. An urgent, piercing alarm is sounded throughout the building (as programmed) and the exact location of the attack is indicated at all relevant displays, thus prompting the quick response of security staff. For security reasons Attack calls can only be reset by entering a special code at the Quantec Controller or a display with controls.

In addition to staff attack calls, Quantec's infra red call points and ceiling receivers can generate other levels of call too. The type of call generated depends on the type of transmitter(s) and receiver(s) used.

All fob type transmitters have the ability to send radio as well as infra red calls. To generate a radio call, at least one Quantec radio receiver is required. Radio receivers are ideal for picking up calls in outside areas such as car parks and gardens where infra red transmission is not practical.
